The Surface is part of WCX 2023 Summer anthology 30 Days To Save The World

Thirty days.

The countdown has started, North America shivers under the shadow of a massive alien spacecraft, and humanity is hurtling toward an unknown future that lurks at the end of the timer. Somewhere, somehow, the heroes are making their plans to fight the extraterrestrials.

But this isn’t about them.

From the team at WritersConnX comes a new anthology about the rest of us – the average, the ordinary, the unassuming – and the many paths we run when our time is cut short.

And no damn aliens!

The First Rapture is part of RKB’s Summer 2024 erotica anthology

The Big Book of Quickies was designed for erotica lovers who don’t have hours to spare getting swept away, much like the characters you will meet. But don’t let the title fool you: although hasty when it comes to getting down and dirty, this collection offers plenty of variety in these 69 tales of rapture and hot sex of all kinds. From raunchy to romantic, these stories include a wide range of sexualities, turn-ons, fetishes, and kinks, taking place in the real world and paranormal realms.

Whether bedding a stranger just for the moment, taking a few minutes to indulge their desires with a long-time partner, or pursuing their biggest sexual fantasy, putting pleasure front and center is what these horny characters have in common. If erotic tension, burning desire, and instant gratification are what you seek, look no further than The Big Book of Quickies.

The Beast Within is part of Dark Holme Publishing last Ethereal Nightmares anthology, The Final Awakening.

Twelve final stories to drag you through the dark one last time.

A comatose sister brings messages from beyond.
A woman wakes to find herself in a serial killer’s hands.
An alchemist bargains his soul.
A jealous house demands attention.
And Doomdel the Clown wants to eat a kid—but he’ll have to get through the babysitter first.

From Halloween horrors and ancient beasts to twisted love and doomed bargains, this final volume blends visceral horror with dark myth—and finishes what the others started.
